Interesting. It says the shots cause cartilage loss. In this case it cant' if it's specific to the injection site, because I don't have any in that joint. If a cortisone shot anywhere, decreases cartilage everywhere, then I'm in trouble. I don't know if this cortisone is the same cortisone you'd get when you have a respiratory infection but if it is, I've had lots of those.

Thanks Marlon! I don't know if I whined about my shoulder hurting the day we fished together, but if I didn't it would have been unusual. That hurts it more than anything else that I regularly do. It sucks, but I'll get past it.
